What is Lee Kuan Yew s contribution to Singapore?

Lee Kuan Yew's ancestors came to Singapore from China in the 60s of the 19th century, when Lee Kuan Yew's great-grandfather Lee Muk Boon came to Singapore on a sailing ship.

Lee Kuan Yew was born in Singapore on 16 September 1923 in Tangxi Village, Tai Po County, Guangdong Province, China, and his great-grandfather, Lee Muk Man, came to Singapore in the 60s of the 19th century. Lee Kuan Yew is the third generation of the Lee family born and raised in Singapore, and his family has lived in Singapore for half a century at the time of his birth.

For me, the history of our family should start with my great-grandfather, Li Muwen. He is a Hakka. The Hakka people belong to the Han ethnic group, originating in North China and the Central China Plain, and moved to Fujian, Guangdong, and other provinces in South China about 700 to 1,000 years ago.

Due to the late migration to the south, they can only squeeze into the relatively barren land and undeveloped hilly areas of the locals. According to a tombstone inscription on the back of a house built by his great-grandfather in his hometown in China, he was born in 1846 in Tangxi Village, Dapu County, Guangdong Province. When I grew up, I came to Singapore on a sailboat.

It is likely that the route he traveled south at that time was to sail 12o kilometers along the Hanjiang River in a small boat to Shantou, the nearest port in Guangdong Province, and then sail from there to Nanyang. Since then, little has been known about his whereabouts. Until the 70s of the 19th century, he married Xiao Zhaoniang, a Chinese girl.

Siu Zhaoniang is the daughter of a Rong shopkeeper and was born in Singapore.

Excerpt from: "Memoirs of Lee Kuan Yew".

Lee Kuan Yew's family traveled from Guangdong to Singapore in 1862 (the first year of the reign of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty). Singapore was a British colony at the time.

Lee Kuan Yew's Memoirs record that the Lee family first came to Nanyang from his great-grandfather Li Muwen. Lee Kuan Yew's great-grandfather, Lee Mu-man, sailed from Guangdong to the Straits Settlements in 1862 (the first year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty).

Lee Kuan Yew's grandfather, Lee Wan Lung, was born in Singapore in 1871. Lee Kuan Yew's father, Lee Chun Kun, was born in Singapore in 1903. Lee Kuan Yew himself was born in Singapore on 16 September 1923.

Lee Kuan Yew, Han Hakka. Singaporean Chinese, ancestral home is Dangxi Township, Gaopi Town, Dapu County, Meizhou City, Guangdong. [1] He received a British education from an early age, and was admitted to Raffles Institution (junior high school), a top British school in the local area at the age of 12 (1935), and at the age of 18 (1940), he was admitted to the senior high school of the original school, but his studies were interrupted after the Japanese occupation of Singapore.

After the war, Lee Kuan Yew was awarded the Queen's Scholarship and began studying in England.

He has done his best for the prosperity of the country and is worthy of the admiration of the world!

Don't forget, he has always stood on Japan's side between China and Japan

Lead the people of Singapore out of poverty, there are many people in Singapore to let them live in harmony, so be it.
